Mr. DeMarco

This is Erniel Pamintuan, I'm 44 and just finished reading the book. Thank you for writing it! I wish I had known about it in 2011 when it first came out. I appreciate the no-nonsense no bullshit tell it as it is style. I've read many books written by "gurus" on business, investing, etc., however, I found your book refreshing, honest, practical. Yes, they make money with those book sales while giving us misinformation that keeps up stuck in the Slowlane. Thank you again!

I joined this forum because I'd like to develop myself as an entrepreneur. I'm stuck in the Slowlane and want to transition from consumer to producer, however, can't seem to break through to the other side. I suppose I need insight on execution.

Prior to reading the book I was working on an invention, a sifting cat litter box that is easy to clean and affordable (having to deal with cleaning cat litter boxes myself). While reading the book I got the sense that I was on the right track for pursuing the development of this invention, however, I've hit a road block.

Although there is a similar product out there called the Luuup litter, customers are not happy with the performance of this product based on the reviews I've read. I believe my design is better, however, I don't know how to reach these dissatisfied customers and I'm hoping to get insight on how to do that or at least get this invention seen or noticed by the general public. I know a sifting cat litter box is not a sexy product, but I know it meets a need, i.e., eliminates the unpleasant time consuming activity of scooping cat poo. Here's a link to the invention: https://igg.me/at/sift-a-litter. (shameless plug).

I believe my design solves the problems others are having with cleaning a cat litter box, as well as, problems with the Luuup litter product. There is an obvious need for this product since people are buying it despite poor performance. I know marketing is key, however, I don't have the luxury of money at this point since I've been stuck in the Slowlane. What can I do to get noticed? Thank you again!
